Application Ied. March 17, 1922. Serial NoLllcO.

5 of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Corner Guard, of which the followlng is a specification.

This invention relates to corner guards,

the object of the invention being to provide a device of this character which will accurately tit within a corner adjacent to the mould board of a room to prevent dust and other foreign matter from collecting in the corner, to facilitate the cleaning of the room.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device or this character which may be readily and easily stamped from sheet metal by a Vsingle operation, and one which will be exceptionally durable in use.

W'ith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the com bination and arrangement of parts and in the details of constrncution hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within the scope of what is claimed7 without departing from the spirit of the invention.

`Referring to the drawing:

Figure l is an elevational view disclosing a guard constructed in accordance with the present invention as positioned in the corners of stairs.

Figure 2 is an elevational view disclosing one edge of the guard.

Figure 3 is a front elevational View of the guard.

Figure l is a sectional view through the guard.

Referring to the drawing in detail, the device comprises a body portion formed of sheet metal, the same being triangular in formation so that it will closely lit within a corner.

@ne corner of the body portion is curved inwardly as at 5, the tapered extremity thereof, and which is indicated at 6, being designed to pierce the woodwork. or mould board to secure the guard against movement.

The lower edge of the body portion eXn tends inwardly as at 7 and engages the lloor or step associated therewith, to prevent ma- 5G terial from passing between the body portion and floor or step on which the same is positioned. Thus it will be seen that when a device of this character is vpositioned in the corner ci a step adjacent to GU the mould board thereof, the corner is guarded against foreign matter collecting thereimto the end that the person cleaning, may brush all Yforeign matter which ordinarily would collect in the cerner, from the step.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is A guard comyirising a triangular body portion, one corner of the body portion be 70 ing curved inwardly and provided with a tapered extremity, one edge ci the body portion being curved inwardly and upwardly and said tapered extremity adapted to pierce the article to which the device is secured. l5

in testimony that l claim the foregoing as my own, l have hereto aihxed my signature in the presence oi' two witnesses.
